Lawmakers in the Netherlands have voted to ban arms exports to Saudi Arabia, citing violations of international law in the kingdom’s involvement in Yemen. The decision follows a February vote by EU politicians supporting a bill which demands an arms embargo on Saudi Arabia.

The Dutch resolution referenced a UN report which suggested at 119 Saudi coalition sorties in Yemen had been carried out in violation of international law. Saudi Arabia has denied that its airstrikes have killed large numbers of civilians, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

Only this week, reports from Yemen suggested that Saudi airstrikes had killed dozens of people at a market in the north west of the country.

Between 2001 and 2010, the Netherlands reportedly sold around $43 million in arms to the kingdom, despite a 2008 ruling stating that the country would only have “restrictive” deals with Saudi.

Youssef Rahman of Amnesty International in the Netherlands said that he hoped other European countries would follow the Dutch decision
